Tonight was my official 16 week appointment. Exciting! Nothing really interesting happened... but we did hear the heartbeat again, did the typical weight, blood pressure, etc. I am up 4 lbs from last appointment!! The doctor said they like to see 2-4 lbs gain a month, so I guess I'm doing ok so far. That puts me about 6 lbs up total. We got the results from Mr. Beaver's blood work and - good news - he is O negative. Since I am AB negative, this means that the baby will also be rh negative, and I don't have to worry about problems with our blood mixing and making antibodies, etc. No Rohgam shot for me!
In other good news, it's just about time to schedule my anatomy scan ultrasound!!! The doctor said to schedule it between Nov. 6 and Nov. 20. I'm going to call tomorrow! From what I hear, the scan is about an hour long, and they measure all the different parts of the baby and check all of his or her organs- brain, heart, kidneys, etc. to make sure they are all working as they should be. We are so excited to see the little baby, and he/she will actually look like a baby this time!! I just hope we don't cave and listen to the tech when she tells us to look away. I think this will be the one and only chance to find out he gender before baby's birthday, so if we make it through the ultrasound, there's no turning back!
